Anybody played Dead Island?

yar, put abotu 10hours in
its ok, bit repetative, just got onto act II in the city.
still repetative but harder.
defo needs to be played co-op

I'm all over Skyrim, to tide me over till the next instalment of Fallout.

Just played the demo of Space Marine too, could actually be quite good, quelle surprise.

Finally written my Driver SF review. Editor will hack it to bits and put it online soon. I'll link to it when she does.

Long story short, it's fun, shit loads of content, and (imho given I suck at driving games) worth the cash it's currently for sale at (I'd be so so about paying full retail).

Ooh Lonesome road has been released...

Bollocks! I think my game on Fallout NV may be ruined.

I'm on the part where you meet the Brotherhood of Steel. Anyway I decided to go against them (and help out the ranger) I managed to kill all of them in the shelter but the second I get out there's a group which always roam the area and kill me so fast I can't do anything.

I'm stumped as to what I should do.

I'm tempted to give up with it to be honest and start playing borderlands properly.

I'm listening to a discussion about Nick clegg and the parallels are numerous

Eurogamer starts today... thinking to drop over at Lunch time

It's ok - quite good but quite basic really in term of controls. you basically run around shoot and tap x in combat wildly.

Basically I would wait til it drops to £20 or so then pick it up then. I only bought it as I used to be a warhammer 40k geek and used to play as ultramarines....

As soon as you get out, quickly open the pip boy and fast travel to another destination, could help before threat has been detected.

I managed to help the BoS by getting them to side with the NCR.

Apparently multiplayer's quite fun, a couple of mates are all over it at the moment. If it was quieter games-wise, I'd go for it, but I need to ration during these busy times (COD: MW3, Skyrim, FIFA 12).

Nope it won't even let me fast travel because 'enemies are near' balls.

I might just play some counterstrike tonight now!

spencey, got any stealth boy?

Spenceey, hang around inside, get your health up and armed to the teeth.
When you get outside toss grenades, dynamite, mines etc and run away.
Or stealth boy it as scobs suggested.
do you have a companion? Hide behind them.
Slaying mage sure your armour is strong against energy weapons

VAT too.

spencey, got any stealth boy?

I have indeed, never used it though. Do I pop it before I get out the door? Then crouch once I'm out? My problem is they don't seem to be with me but the minute I get out of the door they are there waiting for me as if they followed me out the door.

If I hang around for days will they disappear?

I don't have much to get my health back up. Still quite weak I don't have the right sniper rifle at the moment :( no companion as of yet either!

Unless the stealth boy tactic works I fear I might have to start a new game or go back a few saves (probably losing hours in the process!)

Pop one on before you couch out of the door.

Did you finish the Veronica mission? (not Moser of course), it sound like part of the companion story that they were waiting outside.

Nope not that I know of.

The thing is Ed I have no time to hide from them. does Stealth boy make me invisible or something? Because literally as soon as I step foot outside the door they are there!

Equip Stealth Boy
Open door
CROUCH!!!!!!!
Sneak away
About turn, blow their asses to Hell
?????????
PROFIT

Disrobe Veronica
Make happytime

Stealth boy do make you invisible, unless you stood in front of the enemies for too long.

sound like they're the group that's usually involved in the Veronica mission.

Stupid fallout glitch!

I'll equip the stealth boy and go to town. Then once I'm a veteran sniper come back and show them who's boss!

Also has anyone played Fallout NV as a complete bad ass? I just can't bring myself to it!
